Therefore, the "neither" option covers not only "none of the above (other)", but also "no preference (don't care)". Which illustrates another pitfall of polling/voting; the precise wording of the question, interpretation of that wording by respondents, and interpretation by those evaluating results play substantial roles. Wording questions in a neutral, fair, balanced, clear, and concise manner is a non-trivial exercise. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
